"We are pleased to partner with Sustainability Victoria to deliver this Detox your Home event right here in Baw Baw. It is a great opportunity to get rid of all those leftover nasties cluttering your shed or cupboard, and to feel safe that you're doing it in an environmentally safe way," says Mayor of Baw Baw Shire Cr Annemarie McCabe.
Detox your home event
Detox your Home events are staffed by expert chemists who identify and sort the chemicals for safe transport back to a licenced facility in Melbourne where they are processed for reuse or safe disposal. Chemicals collected are processed and recovered or recycled wherever possible. If they cannot be reused in any way, they are safely disposed of.
With community safety in mind, Detox your Home events are now drive-through and contactless. Registrations are essential. Register for the upcoming Detox your Home event at:
